LOL, no, it was this month :-)

Thanks RAL, I will have to call them out on that! Apparently my battery is from the future!! LOL  

Can someone explain Elk battery date codes?   I received one today with this code: HL151205 which I assumed to be in  YY/DD/MM format.   The one it replaced was DH111224... Does the manufacturer switch up the dd/mm to mm/dd occassionally or ?   Thanks!

I forgot to mention that the building is slab on grade so no crawl space or basement! I don't take to saying 'impossible' lightly - within the confines of aesthetically and financially feasible. I had thought of getting a bit into the wall and maybe drilling the backside of the drywall, but I...
